Don’t Be a Loser in Your Own Story: Ego vs Higher Self

If someone played your inner thoughts out loud… would it sound like you even like you?  In this episode, we breakdown what it really means to “not be a loser in your own story.” If you’ve been losing confidence not because you’re incapable, but because your inner voice keeps narrating your life from fear, this episode is for you.

Emotional Fluency: Dating Men Raised by a Different Generation

“Date older, they’re more mature,” but emotionally, that’s not always true. In this episode of Cringe & Crumble, Tranisha unpacks what happens when you’re dating men raised in different emotional eras: older men conditioned on “boys don’t cry” vs. younger men raised on “use your words.” We break down how generational conditioning shapes emotional fluency and why emotional alignment matters more than age when choosing a partner.

Host Tranisha and guest Natalya Turner-Chapman explore why confident women don’t compete and how cultural conditioning quietly fuels comparison.

Choose healing over competition and learn how to celebrate other women without shrinking yourself.
